    ByFahad Usmani, PMP September 15, 2024September 15, 2024

    Critical Path Method (CPM) is a project schedule modeling technique. Mr. Morgan R. Walker and James E. Kelly developed this technique in the late 1950s.

    Project planners use this method to develop schedules for many kinds of projects including IT, research, and construction.

    Critical Path Method is a lengthy and complex concept. Please follow each step in this blog post and don’t move on until you understand the previous steps. If you follow this advice and complete the blog post, you won’t have any problems solving the questions on Critical Path Method.

    What is Work Package in Project Management?

    ByFahad Usmani, PMP September 14, 2024September 14, 2024

    A work package is the smallest and most manageable unit of a project within a work breakdown structure (WBS). It includes detailed information such as objectives, deliverables, timelines, resources, and estimated costs.  By breaking a project into work packages, project managers can more easily monitor progress, allocate resources, and control costs. Work packages help clarify…

    Verification Vs Validation

    ByFahad Usmani, PMP August 17, 2024August 17, 2024

    These are important concepts and any PMP aspirants needs to understand them well. I will explain these terms fully, so you will have a better understanding of them when you finish this blog post.

    This topic is not very important from the PMP exam point of view. However, as a project manager, you must know the difference between these terms.

    What is Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM)?

    ByFahad Usmani, PMP August 14, 2024August 14, 2024

    The Critical Path Method helps project managers develop and manage the schedule in the past.

    This method makes the life of a project manager easy. They can plan activities with less effort, and this was a good communication tool.

    However, there were many issues with the schedules developed by critical path methods. These schedules were not realistic, and projects started getting delayed, which caused crossing their cost baselines.

    Many times these delays led to project termination, and this was hurting companies financially.

    What is a Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) Chart?

    ByFahad Usmani, PMP August 10, 2024August 10, 2024

    Schedule baseline and cost baseline are the two most important performance measurement baselines for any project. Cost baseline helps you assess the cost performance of the project, while the schedule baseline involves the duration.

    Clients are very interested in the schedule because any delay can affect their business. So, project managers should give schedule development a top priority.

    Developing a schedule is a big task and requires a thorough knowledge of schedule network diagramming techniques and experience.

    What is Project Procurement Management?

    ByFahad Usmani, PMP August 6, 2024August 6, 2024

    In business, no two projects are ever the same.

    It would be nice if every task required the same resources but that’s not going to happen. Sometimes additional manpower is needed; other projects require additional goods and services from outside vendors to get the job done.

    As a result, it’s necessary to have an understanding of procurement process – or the business of going beyond the confines of your company’s everyday capabilities.

    For the project managers, this is a big responsibility, as well as a huge opportunity to showcase their skills and prove that they can accomplish tasks requiring outside resources.

    Although, there are numerous variables in the project procurement management, there are four specific phases that can help ensure the job is accomplished on time and on budget.

    Assumptions and Constraints in Project Management

    ByFahad Usmani, PMP July 29, 2024July 29, 2024

    In project management, we make assumptions and constraints always limit us. They are also a part of our lives.

    For example, suppose you plan to go shopping at a mall that takes one hour to reach by car.

    You assumed that you would leave your home at around 6:00 pm and reach the mall by 7:00 pm.

    This was your assumption. What about the constraints?

    In the given example, you can think of two. The first constraint is money. If you have 500 USD in your hand, you cannot shop for more than this amount. The second constraint is the mall’s closing time; let us say it is at 10:30 pm. This means you cannot continue your shopping after that.

    Understanding Project Management Dependencies

    ByFahad Usmani, PMP June 13, 2024June 13, 2024

They provide the sequence in which tasks must be performed, which affects the project timelines, resource allocation, and project flow. So, you must effectively manage the dependencies to ensure tasks are completed logically, prevent bottlenecks, and minimize delays. In today’s article, I will…
